The main objective of this work was to embark on a deconstructive reading on the notion of body in Freud's work. The specific objectives were: a) to question the use of Freud's idea of body in different contexts of analysis, such as those involved in hysterical structure, sexuality, narcissism and culture, among others; b) to mark some epistemological crossroads and paths of critical inflection in Freud's thoughts with respect to the main notion; and c) to produce unprecedented significances to strain Freudian discourse, deconstructing and pinpointing his remarks and points of view. The methodological process used consisted in a subscribtion to the proposal of Jacques Derrida to perform a deconstruction of the discourse, which allowed a reformulation by disconnecting it from its established links and tying it up with other components. Results in terms of deconstructive discovery were that the hysterical discourse discovered the subversion of the subject with the body. The drive showed an unusual connection between sexed body and unconscious psychism. The tortured body revealed the presence of a whirlwind of pleasure. The body-Narcissus revealed not only the investitures of love towards the body, but also those of hate. Psychosis showed that the self-body interrelationship can be broken up. The will of self-control suitable in a culture of imperatives, is shown to be very radical in its application to the body. In conclusion, the critical exploration of Freudian discourse regarding the body culminates in the distance at which the self of an ideal of adaptation and obedience can be found. It is as rebellious and revealing as the unconscious itself. From this comes the appalling effort to subjugate it.
